Moving Pets Overseas
Whether you are moving across the street or around the world, moving is as stressful on your pets as it is on you. Our pets sense stress and react to it just like people do. The easier we can make the move abroad on them, the easier the move will be on us. Here are some helpful hints for making the move overseas on your pets as stress free as possible:
- Decide whether it’s a good idea to move your pet overseas. Factors that need to be taken into consideration are your pets age, temperament, and breeding. Get your veterinarians opinion before making any final decisions. Check with your destination country’s consulate to see if they will require your pet to spend any time in quarantine.
- Investigate the country you are moving to, research if your pet will even be allowed into the country. You may be required to provide your destination country with a health or rabies certificate from your current veterinarian. If so, find out how long the certificate is valid for, and if you will need an entry permit as well. Your destination country’s consulate should be able to help you with all of these concerns.
- Cost is another factor to take into consideration. If you are required to get vaccination, certificates, and pay quarantine costs, it can be expensive. Make sure to research all of the costs ahead of time as to avoid any unexpected expenses.
- According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), sedation of pets for air travel is not recommended. Transport of sedated pets can be fatal, and over-sedation is the leading cause of animal deaths during air travel. Only in special circumstances should a veterinarian dispense of sedatives for animals that are to be transported overseas.
- Instead of sedation, we recommend transporting your pet in a travel container. The kennel must be large enough for your pet to stand, sit, and lie in a natural position. Each pet must have its own travel container, and each container must be well ventilated.
